Millie Mackintosh's 2 flattering Boden holiday dresses with pockets are on sale
Millie Mackintosh's holiday wardrobe is the stuff of dreams, and you can currently get two of her flattering Boden dresses on sale – and they have pockets When it comes to holiday outfits, Millie Mackintosh knows how to deliver a masterclass. The former Made in Chelsea star always manages to nail effortless, flattering and stylish outfit combinations, even with two children in tow. Her latest trip abroad gave us even more wardrobe envy, but we were thrilled to spot that two of our favourite looks are from high street favourite Boden – and they're currently on sale. The code JM7D lets you nab 15% off brand new summer styles for a limited time, and both of Millie's floaty maxi dresses are included in the offer. First up is the Una Linen Embroidered Dress, which Millie picked up in a bold green colour, although it also comes in blue, navy and ivory with different coloured embroidery details on each. The flowing green maxi dress is made from 100% linen which means it's breathable and comfortable to wear even in soaring temperatures on holiday. Unlike most kaftans, which tend to have a slightly shapeless, boxy design, the Boden Una dress has a subtle fit and flare silhouette that nips in just under your bust and flows outwards. This creates a lovely structured shape that's flattering without being clingy or figure-hugging. And, of course, its main design pull is the side pockets, which are perfect for keeping things like roomy keys, lip balms and your phone close to hand. Usually priced at £210, the JM7D discount code slashes £31.50 off, dropping it to £178.50. The other Boden dress we were coveting in Millie's holiday wardrobe was the Serena Cotton Tie Maxi Dress. More affordable than her Una dress, the Serena maxi dress is usually priced at £136, however the discount code reduces that down to £115.60, saving you more than £20. Coming in three different colourful print options, Millie opted for the 'decorative dandelion' pattern. The sleeveless maxi dress is made from 97% cotton with 3% metallised fibre, and features a 100% cotton lining, which keeps it cool and breezy in the summer heat whilst being easier to keep crease-free than linen. It features a functional tie at the back of the neck, with a V-neckline and the all-important handy side pockets. It's also fitted just under the bust and flares out into a flowing three-tiered skirt that gives plenty of movement. If Millie's Boden dresses are proving a little pricey for you – even with the discount – a more affordable pick from her holiday outfits is the Red Crochet Shift Dress which hails from her Friends Like These collection at Next. Priced at £52, it comes in both red and black and has a mini length hemline and more fitted silhouette. It's available in sizes small to extra large, compared to her Boden dresses which are both available in sizes 4 to 22 and have regular and petite length options to choose from.

When the Light Breaks review – two students grieve one boyfriend in Icelandic heartbreaker
What happens when the unthinkable happens? This Icelandic drama begins when an art student in his early 20s is killed in the country's worst-ever road traffic accident, one of at least a dozen fatalities. The rest the film follows his dazed girlfriend around Reykjavik for the next 12 or so hours: first the hospital, then to a bar downing shots with friends, and later to a hastily arranged memorial for the dead. Director Rúnar Rúnarsson is more interested in the emotions rolling over her than plot; his delicate wisp of film feels true to life with a quietly intense performance by Elín Hall as the girlfriend, Una. Actually, Una is not the actual girlfriend. She goes to college with the man who dies, Diddi (Baldur Einarsson), and they're in a punk band together. But Diddi has got a girlfriend in his hometown. For a few months Una and Diddi have been sleeping together. We see them at the start, in bed, sunlight artily catching the downy hairs on her neck and dust motes in air. Diddi is driving to tell his girlfriend it's finished when he's killed. The movie comes within inches of drifty and plotless as it trails after Una, barely leaving her face – and what a face. Newcomer Hall gives a totally natural performance as the spiky and confrontational Una, hit by the freight train of grief. Numbed, in autopilot mode, she has to deal with the arrival of the official girlfriend, Klara (Katla Njálsdóttir), who is naturally the focus of sympathy. 'Klara must be devastated,' says one friend. 'They were a perfect couple.' The two women's scenes together give the film its most interesting moments. Klara clings to Una, but does she suspect? Tension between them looms up and fades, giving the movie its sense of purpose. When the Light Breaks is in UK and Irish cinemas from 23 May.
